Deviled Eggs Dip is a creamy and tangy treat that takes the classic deviled egg flavor and turns it into a fun dip! It’s super easy to whip up with eggs, mayo, and a zing of mustard.
This dip is perfect for parties or snacks, and I love scooping it up with crunchy veggies or crackers. It always gets smiles! Plus, it’s a great way to enjoy deviled eggs without the fuss of peeling. 😄
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Eggs: A classic deviled eggs dip starts with hard-boiled eggs. I love using large eggs, but if you have medium eggs, just adjust the quantity slightly. For a plant-based option, consider silken tofu blended until smooth to mimic the creaminess.
Mayonnaise: For a robust flavor, I recommend using standard mayonnaise, but if you’re looking for a lighter option, Greek yogurt makes a great substitute. It adds creaminess without the extra calories. You can also try vegan mayo for a plant-based version!
Dijon Mustard: If you don’t have Dijon, yellow mustard works well too, although it’s milder in flavor. If you want a bit more kick, consider adding a splash of hot sauce instead!
Vinegar: Apple cider vinegar adds a nice tang, but white vinegar or even lemon juice can be used if that’s what you have on hand. Lemon juice brings a refreshing twist.
How Can I Make Perfectly Hard-Boiled Eggs?
Making hard-boiled eggs can seem tricky, but it’s pretty simple! Follow these steps for success:
- Start with eggs that are a few days old; they peel easier than fresh ones.
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with an inch of cold water.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil, then cover and remove from heat.
- Let the eggs sit for 10-12 minutes, depending on how firm you like the yolks.
- Cool them quickly in an ice bath or under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Trust me, this technique avoids those unsightly green rings around the yolk and gives you perfectly cooked eggs!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delicious Deviled Eggs Dip will take about 20 minutes to prepare. You’ll spend about 10 minutes boiling the eggs and another 10 minutes mixing up the dip. It’s quick and easy to whip up for your next gathering!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Boil the Eggs:
Start by placing your eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover the eggs with cold water, making sure there’s about an inch of water above the eggs. Heat over medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil. Once it’s boiling, cover the pot, remove it from heat, and let the eggs sit for about 10-12 minutes. This will ensure they’re perfectly hard-boiled!
2. Cool the Eggs:
After the time is up, carefully drain the hot water. Immediately run cold water over the eggs or place them in an ice bath to cool them down quickly. This step makes peeling them a lot easier!
3. Prepare the Dip:
Once the eggs are cool, peel them and roughly chop them up. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped eggs with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, vinegar, garlic powder, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Use a fork or potato masher to mix everything until it’s mostly smooth but still has some small bits for texture.
4. Add Herbs and Serve:
Fold in the chopped fresh chives or parsley for a burst of flavor. Transfer your dip to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula. Dust it with paprika and sprinkle some additional herbs on top for a fresh look!
5. Enjoy!
Serve your creamy Deviled Eggs Dip chilled or at room temperature with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh veggie sticks like carrot and celery. Perfect for sharing and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser!
